Count's "Old Testament Band" Swinging As Only It Could
author: Bob Allen
                            
These marvelous, loosey, goosey performances come from rehearsals for a WW II radio series called "Jubilee".  These 1943 and 1944 recordings were what made the orchestra the favorite jazz band in the nation.  Great soloists abound with top-notch vocals from Thelma Carpenter and the legendary  Mr. Five By Five Jimmy Rushing.  Excellent sound.
